For the third time since September 23rd, the Bruins (1-1-0) go head to head against the Washington Capitals (0-1-0) as they attempt to rebound from their loss against the Red Wings.

The Bruins will still be without David Krejci and Gregory Campbell for tonight's game, although Krejci did practice with the team this morning. This will be game three with a healthy Bruins defense, especially a healthy Adam McQuaid, which must be some kind of record or something.

The Capitals may be missing power d-man Mike Green in tonight's game after he suffered an upper body injury in early October. Mike Green has been a notable problem for the Bruins, always finding ways to finagle his way around our defense and making plays despite our best efforts. So, depending on what the decision is, this could be good news for the Bruins, especially considering the lethal power play the Capitals run with Mike Green and Alex Ovechkin.

Team Stats

Team: The Capitals are coming into this game after a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on October 9th. Against the Bruins just this year, the Capitals are 1-1. Last season, the Capitals had the best power play in the league with a whopping 67 power play goals and not much has changed over the course of the pre season. During the pre-season, the capitals sported a 5-3-0 record an even goal differential. The Capitals have an overall record of 85-56-21 against the Bruins and had a 17-17-7 road record last season.

Players: Although there's really nothing too notable going on for the Caps, it's worth noting that Johansson is two assists away from 100 in his career while Laich is 3 points shy of 300 points on his career.

Goalie: My best guess is that Holtby will be in net tonight.

Team: The Bruins are coming into this game after a disappointing loss to the Detroit Red Wings on October 9th. We're currently 1-1 with an even goal differential.

Players: Patrice Bergeron is 3 points shy of his 500th NHL point and is 2 points away from tying Adam Oates for 13th place on the team's all time scoring list. Hopefully tonight we'll see some more progress toward these marks!
